My life's work has centered around community building and grassroots social change. Because I believe in the more beautiful world my heart knows is possible, I have been a circle keeper and teacher in community settings, nonprofit organizations, jails, prisons, and university classrooms. I know what is possible when we show up together in deep listening for one another and the more than human world. I believe in magic and know that we need it to be able to face the inevitable human suffering in life.
We also need regular engagement with beauty, a solid support system, a sense of humor, and hearts full of courage. Psychotherapeutic work with me is about gathering and growing these essential ingredients. I help people grow skills and capacities to weather life's challenges, learn through difficulty, and embody resiliency.
As a therapist, I am useful to people who are looking to develop their intuitive knowing, connection with body wisdom, and dream medicine. I utilize mindfulness, ecotherapy, and other nervous system interventions. I have extensive training in Psychoanalysis, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Focusing.
